Executive summary:

The density of the substance 'Paraffin waxes (Fischer-Tropsch), isomerization' (two grades) was determined using method ASTM 4052 (and ASTM D1250 table 53A); the relative density was then calculated.


Results for product grade 1:


- density analyzed at 100°C (according ASTM D4052): 781.0 kg/m3


- calculation to density at 15°C (according ASTM D1250 table 53A) : 843.9 kg/m3


- relative density at 15°C: 0.8439


Results for product grade 2:


- density analyzed at 100°C (according ASTM D4052): 782.5 kg/m3


- calculation to density at 15°C (according ASTM D1250 table 53A) : 845.3 kg/m3


- relative density at 15°C: 0.8453.


The relative density of the test material has been determined to be 0.84 - 0.85 at 15°C.
